    Sydax, I don't mean to nitpick, but your post didn't make much sense.

    "Sometimes information doesn't get to every people, and sometimes, that information is not relevant to other people."

    True.

    "That doesn't make a person stupid/ignorant."

    False.

    It doesn't make a person stupid, but ignorance is, by definition, the lack of knowledge. If someone doesn't need to know something, and thus they do know know it, then they are completely ignorant of it. That's all ignorance is.

    I live in America, it is a nice place but we have two problems. One is dumb people, the other is fat people. Usually fat people are also dumb.

    Hey, thats not very nice grillen. I know plenty of intelligent fat people. They just like their food. That doesn't make them stupid.

    Yes, some fat people are stupid, like the people who don't think eating fast food will make them fat, but you said 'usually', which is a poor choice of words. Instead, use 'some'.

    And empath: if you knew that portugal was next to spain, and someone gave you a map that said it was in Asia, i'm pretty sure you wouldn't take that as true, but tell them that it is wrong. Some people are just not intelligent enough to know that North Korea and France are not in Australia.

    [​IMG] I know plenty of stupid people that aren't fat... does that then make fat people stupid, but also everyone else? So we're all stupid, by that logic. :rolleyes:

    The fact is, if you're going to go fishing for stupid people, you'll inevitably find enough in a crowd to put together a couple of minutes of footage. In ANY country. Admittedly, having people mistake a whole bloody continent of Australia for anything else just because it's labelled differently is pretty amazing, but besides showing some people's ignorance of geography, it doesn't really prove anything else.

    So I think this thread is ripe for closure.
